Really looking forward to the 17's and 18's here π£
It should be a lot warmer than that but, being the worst decade for warmth in recorded history, there will be nothing noteworthy. However anything with sunshine would be warmly welcomed by me as a significant improvement on the dismal, drab dross of the past 12 days.
Hard to believe the record for June for Aberdeen is 84F(28.9C) when so many of the recent abysmal Junes have struggled to even get into the 20s. That was recorded in the first week as well – twice in fact in 1939 and 1950. First reading was recorded at Craibstone and the second at Dyce. Craibstone only recorded 83F(28.3C) in 1950 - a typical difference -so likely Dyce would have managed 85F(29.4C) had the station existed at the start of June 1939.
Widespread readings of 28-30C across Scotland from 4th – 6th June 1939. 87F(30.6C) at Liberton which I would imagine is the record for Edinburgh. 85F (29.4C) was recorded there in 1950.
Looks like a similar set-up to what's being modelled this time

Let’s see how the coming heatwave compares to those from so long ago that even many pensioners wouldn’t be able to remember them. Poorly, I suspect.
